In addition, due to insufficient light, the power of these lamps is insufficient.
So once the batteries break down, we have to charge them from outside.
Such lighting can work with good research institutes, but BMC does not have enough staff to take care of it.
We used to get a lot of complaints.
However, the petition blames the irrational placement of solar lamps for insufficient light, because most of them are installed outside, partly in the shade of tall trees, and there are not enough rain/dust shells to prevent strong terminal leakage during the rainy season.
